Exponent and Cubic Root

Is there a way to use custom exponents in the formula? I am unclear how this works.
for example Cubic root would be X^(1/3) is there any way to do this? Is that what the exp is for or is that just the e value?
Thanks

Cubic Root works exactly as you typed it: X^(1/3).
i.e: 99^(1/3) = 4.63
The exp function is just the e value: 2.71828183
i.e:
exp(2) = 7.39
Everything regarding the expression editor can be found in the Support section of the website, here:

The only real trick to using it is to make sure all the attributes in your equations are chosen from the drop-down menu.
So, for:
game.myCubeRoot = self.currentValue ^ (1/3)
Make sure you choose game.myCubeRoot and self.currentValue from the drop-down list and don't just type those in...
I'm excited to see your game using some of the more complex math functions!
Good luck!

Thanks so much for your reply and thanks for your demo's I have been learning a lot from you without you knowing it.
Maybe the Engineering degree will finally become useful for something. I will post some demo's soon for some cool behaviors that I discover.
Cheers
